5 Goalscorer Bets to Look out for at the Weekend

Brighton take on Everton at the Amex Stadium this Saturday with both sides starting their league campaigns strongly.

The Seagulls won their first two league matches 2-1 and 2-0 against the likes of Burnley and Watford, whilst visitors Everton have defeated the likes of Southampton 3-1 as well as managing a 2-2 draw against Leeds United at Elland Road.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the player in focus on this tip, as he has scored in both of the Toffees league fixtures so far this season, including a header on the opening day against the Saints. The 24-year-old managed 16 league goals last time out in 33 matches which also included a header against Brighton in their fourth match of last season in a 4-2 victory at Goodison Park.

The next tip comes from Serie A where Lazio host Spezia at the Stadio Olimpico.

Lazio have played just one league fixture so far this season which was in a 3-1 victory away at Empoli on the opening weekend of the season where Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Manuel Lazzari and Ciro Immobile all got on the scoresheet in what was Maurizio Sarri’s first game in charge of the club.

Meanwhile, Spezia earned a fortunate point in a 2-2 draw with Cagliari having had 12 shots and 41% possession to the hosts 59% and 20 efforts at goal.

Last season, Immobile managed 20 league goals in 35 appearances which includes a goal away at Spezia, which was the opening goal of the match in a 2-1 win for his side.

Bayern Munich take on bottom of the league Hertha Berlin at the Allianz Arena this Saturday.

The champions endured a tough away game against Borussia Monchengladbach where they drew 1-1 on the opening day thanks to Roberto Lewandowski’s equaliser, before beating Koln 3-2 at home last time out where the Pole scored once again whilst Serge Gnabry got a brace.

Meanwhile, Hertha have had a miserable start to this campaign, losing 3-1 to Koln on the opening day, before suffering a 2-1 home defeat to Wolfsburg last time out.

Thomas Muller could be the player to watch out for here, as the German was Bayern’s second top scorer last campaign, managing 15 goals and 24 assists. The 31-year-old was even on the scoresheet the last time these two sides met at the Allianz Arena in what resulted in a 5-2 victory for the champions.

Rangers host Celtic at Ibrox in what is the first Old Firm clash of the season.

Neither team has had the perfect start to their campaigns in the Scottish Premiership, as Rangers have won two out of three matches, beating Livingston 3-0 on the opening weekend of the season, before suffering a shock 1-0 defeat away at Dundee United on matchday two. But, Steven Gerrard’s men did bounce back with a 4-2 away win at Ross County last weekend, thanks to goals from Joe Aribo, Conor Goldson, Alfredo Morelos and Scott Arfield.

Meanwhile, Celtic started the season in the worst possible fashion in a 2-1 away defeat to newly promoted Hearts as John Souttar scored an 89th-minute winner. But, they bounced back in good fashion, hammering both Dundee at St Mirren 6-0 at Celtic Park of which Kyogo Furuhashi managed a hattrick against Dundee.

The Japanese forward is the player to look out for in this match having scored six goals in his first seven matches for Celtic and will be desperate to put his name in Hoops folklore with a goal against their arch-rivals.

The final tip on this list comes from Ligue 1, where newly promoted Troyes host AS Monaco at Stade de l'Aube.

Troyes have started life back in Ligue 1 in worrying fashion, picking up just one point from their first three matches having narrowly lost 2-1 to PSG, before suffering a 2-0 defeat to fellow newly-promoted side Clermont Foot. The only point that they have picked up came in a 1-1 away draw courtesy of a strike from Yoann Touzghar.

Monaco have also started the campaign poorly, losing 2-0 to Lens and 1-0 to Lorient in their second and third league matches of the season, with their 1-1 home draw to Nantes being the only point they managed, due to Gelson Martins early strike.

Wissam Ben Yedder is a player that will be hoping to inspire Monaco this weekend, as the 31-year-old former Sevilla man was sensational for Niko Kovac’s side last campaign, scoring 20 and assisting eight times in 37 Ligue 1 matches.
